Recall Date: 5/27/2026
NHTSA ID: 26V341
MFr. Campaign Number: See attached Part 573
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
Affected Components: Combination Meter (Meter Assy, Combination) — 12.3-inch display software
Potential Number of Units Affected: 81,893
Which Toyota and Lexus vehicles are affected?
This recall covers four model lines across the Toyota and Lexus brands: the 2025 Lexus UX Hybrid (9,165 vehicles), the 2024 Lexus GX (32,215 vehicles), the 2024 Toyota Mirai (356 vehicles), and the 2024–2025 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid (40,157 vehicles) — for a total of 81,893 vehicles in the U.S. Only vehicles equipped with a 12.3-inch combination meter containing software from a specific supplier are affected; other Toyota and Lexus vehicles with a different combination meter are not part of this recall.
The defect sits in the combination meter, the instrument-panel display that shows the driver indicators and warning messages. During the meter's startup sequence, overlapping internal processes can leave portions of the display blank. When that happens, required warning indicators — including engine oil pressure, engine coolant temperature, and electrical charge — may not appear when an underlying vehicle issue triggers them. For the Mirai, the same blank area can prevent the loss-of-isolation warning message from being displayed. Toyota has flagged this as a potential noncompliance with FMVSS No. 101 (controls and displays) and, for Mirai vehicles, FMVSS No. 305 (electric-powered vehicle electrical shock protection). The supplier of the affected combination meter is Yazaki Meter Co., Ltd.
What drivers need to know
The fix is a software update. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified to bring their vehicle to a Toyota or Lexus dealer, where the combination meter software will be reflashed at no cost to the customer. The remedy does not require parts replacement.
Toyota notified dealers on May 27, 2026. Owner notification letters are scheduled to mail between July 12 and July 26, 2026, as part of a phased recall. The recall does not carry a Do Not Drive or Park Outside advisory, but because the defect can prevent the driver from seeing a critical warning if one occurs, scheduling the software update promptly is the safest path.
Toyota recall background
Toyota's investigation into this issue began in Japan in March 2024 after a customer reported blank areas on the meter display following startup. Bench testing in May 2024 reproduced the phenomenon, and a fault-tree analysis in June 2024 pointed to a timing overlap during the meter's boot sequence. The U.S. market was added to the investigation in November 2024 after a similar report came in from a U.S. dealer. From late 2025 into April 2026, Toyota developed a tool capable of rapidly cycling the combination meter on an actual vehicle, repeating the startup sequence thousands of times until the failure could be reproduced. In May 2026, Toyota confirmed the root cause and determined the vehicles potentially do not meet FMVSS No. 101 and, for Mirai, FMVSS No. 305.
This is one of several software-driven recalls Toyota has issued in recent quarters as more vehicle systems shift from analog gauges to large digital displays. For a fuller picture of Toyota and Lexus recall activity, see BizzyCar's Q1 2026 Recall Report.
How BizzyCar can help
An 81,893-vehicle population spread across four model lines — and across two brands sharing many dealers — means service teams need clean visibility into who owns what, and which open recalls each customer is carrying. The software update itself is fast, which makes it well suited to high-throughput recall outreach.
BizzyCar Recall Outreach cross-references a dealer's customer database against open recall data to identify which vehicles are affected. From there, BizzyCar's AI agent reaches out to those owners through automated two-way SMS — scheduling appointments without requiring service advisors to work through a calling list. Dealers who move early on recall outreach consistently capture more ROs than dealers who wait for owners to self-schedule after the letter arrives.
